Is Botto's Italian Line Restaurant Still Open? (Swedesboro, NJ)

Botto's Italian Line Restaurant, a decades-old family business in Swedesboro, New Jersey, appeared in the fourth episode of Season 3, which aired January 28, 2020. The once-thriving restaurant had accumulated $850,000 in debt, and Ramsay's undercover visit turned up spoiled oysters and poor-quality veal on the plate, evidence of a kitchen that had lost its standards along with its finances. The fix centered on trimming an overgrown menu down to a smaller, more consistent lineup and reigniting the kitchen team's pride in the food, alongside a refresh of the dining room.

The restaurant offers three distinct seating areas — a fine-dining room, a casual lounge, and a covered, heated outdoor patio — and also operates a banquet room able to host wedding receptions and events for 50 to 130 guests, plus an attached Italian specialty market, all of which continued operating through the renovation. Since the relaunch, the restaurant has stayed open continuously at its original Kings Highway address under chef Enrico Botto, and dishes highlighted around the time of the episode, including the Sausage Alla Botto appetizer, remain on the menu today alongside pasta, veal, chicken, seafood, and USDA Choice steaks and chops. The business has since been recognized on wedding-industry review platforms and by regional tourism sites as one of Gloucester County's notable Italian restaurants, appearing in dining guides run by VisitNJ.org and Visit South Jersey that list it as a currently operating destination restaurant. The business's own website shows a page update in August 2026 and seasonal 2026 promotions such as a February seafood boil and a "buck-a-shuck" oyster special, and its attached market continues to take online orders around the clock, indicating active, ongoing operation years after the taping.
